WHAT MAKES YOU STAND APART FROM THE CROWD
If you feel like you are a part of a constant race in your life, you are not lying to yourself. Every day you are racing for something in your life, whether it is success, money, partner, better salary, etc.
To win in this wonderful race of life, you have to run it and give it your best but also to face rivalry and to stand out in your own way, as Frank Sinatra would say, ” I did it my way.” It is also to know that there are universal qualities that will do you good and help you in whatever you strive in your life.
Don’t be afraid; they can be accomplished and learned; no one is born with knowledge; people are “Tabula rasa” or a blank slate when they are born, that slate that is yet to be fulfilled with experience and knowledge as you go through the journey of life.
1. Keep a track of your ideas in mind:
When it comes to organizing your thoughts, you can’t go wrong taking a practical and step-by-step approach. Sometimes, the sheer process of turning a collection of thoughts in your head into a few notes jotted down on some paper can literally make things as clear as black and white. The techniques that follow are great for those times when you need take stock of the thoughts in your mind. Simply transfer thoughts from your mind onto sticky notes, index cards, or a piece of paper, and you’ll be able to analyze, evaluate, and manipulate your thoughts and ideas as needed.
2. Recognize that being different means being alone as well:
Your loneliness doesn’t have to last forever. You can practice seeing things from a different perspective or associate them with positive emotions. Taking care of yourself with patience and compassion might help you strengthen the bond with yourself, which in turn can help you ease the feelings of loneliness. Recounting fun-filled memories in a journal can help bring joy to your life.
3. Agree with yourself and also find others who do so:
Feeling truly good about yourself means loving the person you actually are, inside and out. It takes hard work and some major adjustments to learn to accept yourself and to address the unhappiness in your life. If you want to feel good about yourself, it starts with identifying the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that might block you from feeling good about yourself. After that, you can work on creating a lifestyle that makes you feel valuable, loved, and fulfilled.
4. Know why standing apart is beneficial:
You are unique, with unique skills, experiences and ideas, so don’t waste that by being the same as everyone else. No-one ever achieved greatness or made a difference by conforming to the standard of the people around them. The longer you conform to the requirements of the crowd, the harder it is to break away when you need to. The masses are generally fearful and suspicious, but being bold and fearless is a much more rewarding and exhilarating way to live.
